Re: Could anyone use a design analyzer?
Glad to hear people are interested... now keep bugging me, otherwise it'll never get done! 
Alneyan, what do you mean by "value for 150% of its total cost?"

Re: Could anyone use a design analyzer?
What would be really useful is a program that loads and analyzes AI-design creation files, letting you make global changes to all ships of a given class (all attack ships, all cargo ship, etc.) and save them to the file. This would dramatically ease the process of tweaking AIs.

Re: Could anyone use a design analyzer?
Tally up the costs for all three resources, and add 50% more.
This is an important number since you can only retrofit the ship to designs which have a lower cost than that.
It would be really really neat if you could have it generate an SE4-style graphical result too...
Something like I did for these ships:

Manually counting component abilities and drawing those with MS paint was a chore, but it turned out so nice.

This is why you use screen captures... |

He did. However if you'll notice there are several aspects of that image that SE4 just won't do. Hence the editing..
